Tết Trung Nguyên, This festival is viewed as the time for the pardoning of condemned souls who are then released from hell.The "homeless" should be "fed" and appeased with offerings of food. Merits for the living are also earned by the release of birds and fish. This man can be seen burning paper money as an offering to the souls.
